Even though the winds in the last couple of days were not particularly warm, it has kept the temperature more moderate, and it has melted most of the snow that we had. This morning at 7 am, it is 28° and calm.
This past week, we cut the last of our moose meat and put it away, and we harvested our potatoes that we plant on this side of the farm. I think we collected four or five bins of nice sized potatoes. Later on, either Saturday or Sunday, but probably Sunday, we will harvest our potatoes from ATR. The men have a few buttoning up projects to finish with construction and with farming (straw, grain, etc) before we are set for the winter.
Also, this week, we received news that Seth and Amaris’ relationship is witnessed to by the family, the elders, and the Lord. I know no details of when, where, and where (yes, I said where twice), but we will know those things when it is time.
Bro Andy had his surgery yesterday and since his tumor was bigger than expected and a little more involved than expected, the hospital stay will be a little longer than expected. Their email isasjtrotter@gmail.com if anyone would like to send a note to them. The Trotters were given an ipad from their sweet son in law, Craig, so they can easily collect email and even do imessage (via their email address).
Hannah Davis was 30 weeks yesterday; they are praying that she makes it till 37 weeks. Hannah’s email is hannahdav@hotmail.com if you’d like to write to her. I’ve heard a couple of times from Judy and Steve; they are doing well, although pretty busy chasing Owen around, Hannah’s two year old boy.
The Loggers show did air on Monday night. I heard it was called Steel vs Snow. I’m hoping to get the recording from one of my brothers so more here can see it.
The Loggers left last Thursday to build a cabin in Homer. Due to rain and other things, they did not get done as quickly as they planned. I trust they arrived home late last night. (They did have a few hours one evening to get in some fishing so they didn’t totally suffer!)
Russell Stendall was indeed here last night to preach. I’m not sure what he meant his theme to be for sure, but I heard him saying that we shouldn’t be looking for a specific time for God to move because God is moving right now in our lives; and for us to be sure we are found in the right garments for the wedding feast.
Olivia has returned home for awhile. Doing online schoolwork - as Jessy and Olivia are doing - is tough with our remote and not so fast internet set up, but they are doing their best to make it work for them.
Yesterday was supposed to be Ann and Wayne’s last day in Sapa, but they were having a difficult time getting everything finished before they left so I’m not sure if it really was their last day or not. If you’d like to send them a note, their email is: ewgentry@cvalaska.net
Monday next is school and teachers are madly trying to get ready while students are probably wishing the day would never come...well...some do want to come back I guess. Parents are probably happy that they get their kids within 4 walls for part of the day at least, and that they are not all running around like wild things...oh the beauty of carefree summer and fall days on an Alaska farm! How I love thee...
Rob got a new Speech Pathologist, which he had when he was 3. She came back and now is meeting him all over again as a 16 year old. HOW COOL IS THAT! Thanks Debra Fortune, good year ahead for Rob's team!
Here's a little dirt bunny we found in the tater field.
BE MY POTATOE HEAD VALENTINE
Have a good day and rest of the week.
